  3. Technological Advisory Council Actionable Recommendations - 2014  TAC workgroups provided recommendations to FCC staff in 2014  FCC staff reviewed recommendations in context of Bureau/Office responsibilities  Bureaus/Offices established objectives based on these recommendations  Progress on objectives will be tracked on continuing basis

  4. WTB/OET/CGB  Smart Phone Theft  Establish FCC inter-Bureau Smartphone Theft Working Group to combat mobile device theft as evolving challenge to consumers/industry/law enforcement  Underway in 2015  Work with industry in 2015 for specific commitments to:  Continue to improve phone security  Improve industry database approach to theft deterrence and mitigation; and improve reporting capability for stolen devices  Increase effectiveness of consumer outreach by industry/law enforcement  Consumer awareness of theft problem, importance of security, awareness of mitigation solutions, actions to be taken if phone is stolen

  5. WTB  Advance Sharing  Identify additional target spectrum bands for sharing  Communicate TAC’s recommendations in this area to NTIA (PPSG)  Work with NTIA/PPSG to identify target band(s)

  6. OET/EB/WTB  Near term  Work with CSMAC to incorporate TAC recommendations on transmitter identifiers and emission designators into “Straw - Man” enforcement proposal  Develop FCC briefing paper on current use of emission designators in licensed and unlicensed services  Long Term  Move towards risk-informed interference assessment by:  Increasing agency knowledge/expertise in quantitative risk assessment  Developing pilot proposals in low risk situations

  7. WCB  Transition to IP  Use rural service providers as test bed for technologies and/or cost models  FCC implemented work group in 2013 based on earlier TAC recommendation for IP Transition  In 2014 FCC initiated program to provide $100M for rural technology trials  Incent construction of efficient middle mile networks  Work with rural service providers to provide better deployment cost and operational models for a future evolvable IP environment  Maintain a regulatory environment supporting broadband deployment

  10. MDTP WG Mission  TAC workgroup will continue from 2014  Emphasis will be on longer term initiatives that will combat more sophisticated theft scenarios  Developing recommendations on next generation anti-theft features  Processes including recommendations for hardening of existing device identifiers and the possible need for new, more secure identifiers  Security mechanisms with higher consumer acceptance (e.g. biometrics)  More focused analysis of analysis overall theft ecosystem including how stolen devices are re-entered into the marketplace (e.g. recycling industry)  Further recommendations on improved reporting mechanisms  Consideration will also be given to the efficacy of extending theft prevention mechanisms to other classes of devices.  Provide an assessment of progress made in the area of device theft prevention as some of these recommendations have been applied 3 4 December 2014

  12. Recap of 2014 MDTP Findings No common national framework for smartphone anti-theft mitigation No current official national or international smartphone theft statistics  Industry database has only been operational in the U.S. for the past few years  Large number of law enforcement agencies makes aggregation of mobile device theft data a significant challenge  Improved data collection is necessary to understand if measures being implemented are effective MDTP Working Group obtained preliminary data from 22 police jurisdictions supporting the view that smartphone theft is a major issue in the U.S. Destination of the millions of stolen smartphones is unknown 5 4 December 2014

  13. Recap of 2014 MDTP Findings (continued) Industry groups (e.g., CTIA, GSMA-NA) have developed voluntary commitments and best practices on smartphone theft mitigation  Major manufacturers and OS providers have committed to providing device- based solutions by July 2015 (CTIA)  Not all mobile service providers have adopted these commitments  Best practices need to be enhanced over time N o “silver bullet” that will eliminate smartphone theft  A complementary suite of technical and operational mitigation techniques must be made available and applied to gain additional impact to mobile device theft  There is evidence that implementation of specific solutions is impacting criminal activity  Secure technology solutions are required to ensure unique device identifiers on all smartphones 6 4 December 2014

  14. Recap of 2014 MDTP Findings (continued) Law enforcement needs a better understanding of anti-theft tools available to aid theft investigations; more user-friendly anti-theft tools for law enforcement will be a critical component of a successful solution Consumers must understand the benefit to broadly adopt phone theft deterrent measures – “opt - out” solutions should be the norm going forward The most effective anti-theft messaging comes from local law enforcement  Service provider and manufacturer outreach is needed to supplement this effort 7 4 December 2014

  15. Review of Top Priority Recommendations (December 2014) National Framework Deploy and Continue to Evolve Technology Solutions Engaging Consumers Engaging Law Enforcement Engaging the International Community 8 4 December 2014

  16. Progress on MDTP  Industry wide recognition of mobile device theft and solutions being implemented  MDTP solutions take into account interests of consumers, industry, public safety  Progress to prevent mobile device theft is being made  New Data Reveal Thefts Down 40% In London; 22 % In San Francisco; And 16% In New York City  http://www.ag.ny.gov/press-release/ag-schneiderman-london-mayor-johnson-and-da- gasc%C3%B3n-welcome-dramatic-global-drop 9

  17. MDTP Plan for 2015 – Immediate Objectives  Develop recommendations to achieve a national template geared toward on-device features like password protection and remote wipe/lock for Mobile Device Theft Prevention:  Reduce complexity, significantly increase consumer use and reporting of theft  Address issue of WiFi only device use  Device Identifier Hardening  Assess obstacles to and make recommendations for near term action  Industry stolen device database  Develop specifications for an effective database supporting:  Comprehensive listings for stolen devices on a national/regional basis  Effective reporting/use by key stakeholders  Scaling to all service providers  Broadest range of future devices  Off-net use of stolen devices 10
